Bought this book while waiting for my choice at a local chain. It's signed and looked cute and most importantly sounded accurate. It may teach kids that if their parents seem cranky to just get them a cup of coffee, but unless you're the tea drinking aunt, that's not a bad thing.

This book is funny and we'll written in verse. The images do a lot to support the text. My students loved it and loved finding the little things in the pictures. We used it to talk about text connections.

It is a great book. The pictures and the story are great. My daughter is a little over a year old and I'm sure she will only enjoy the story more and more as she gets older. We are monsters without our coffee!
